Silver Spring blends a busy downtown with established neighborhoods like Woodside, Four Corners, Woodmoor, and Hillandale. Many homes here are brick colonials, Cape Cods, and ramblers built in the mid-1900s, alongside newer townhomes and condos. We plan every home remodeling project in Silver Spring around your home's age and layout. We offer kitchen, bathroom, and basement remodeling, plus flooring, doors, and windows, and every estimate is free.
Many Silver Spring homes have full basements that sit unfinished or feel damp and dark. We handle moisture issues first, then frame, insulate, and finish the space into a family room, office, or guest suite.
Older Silver Spring bathrooms often have small tubs, dated tile, and worn plumbing. We remodel everything from hall baths to primary suites, including tub-to-shower conversions and aging-in-place upgrades.
Closed-in kitchens are common in Silver Spring's older colonials and Cape Cods. We open up layouts where it makes sense and add islands, new cabinets, and better lighting, so your kitchen fits the way you live now.
We've replaced floors in Silver Spring homes, including challenging rooms with uneven subfloors. We install hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, and tile, and we level the subfloor first so your floors last.
The right door improves curb appeal, security, and energy efficiency. We install front entry, patio, sliding, and storm doors in Silver Spring homes, and every estimate is free.
Original windows in older Silver Spring homes often leak air and make rooms hard to heat and cool. We install energy-efficient replacement windows sized to each opening for a tighter, quieter home.
Basement Remodeling
Many Silver Spring brick colonials, Cape Cods and ramblers from the mid-1900s have full basements that sit unfinished or feel damp and dark. We handle the moisture first, whether that means sealing walls, fixing drainage or adding a sump pump, so the new space stays dry. Then we frame, insulate, run electrical and lighting, and finish with drywall, trim and basement-rated flooring. A finished basement can become a family room, office or guest suite with its own bathroom. We handle the Montgomery County permits and inspections.
Bathroom Remodeling
Tub-to-shower conversions, full remodels and aging-in-place upgrades.
Older Silver Spring bathrooms often have small tubs, dated tile and worn plumbing. We remodel everything from hall baths to primary suites, including tub-to-shower conversions, new vanities, tile, lighting and fans. For homeowners who plan to stay, we add aging-in-place upgrades like grab bars, curbless showers and comfort-height toilets. While the room is open, we replace old pipes and repair the floor, then waterproof the shower before the tile goes on.
Kitchen Remodeling
Closed-in kitchens are common in Silver Spring's older colonials and Cape Cods. We open up layouts where the structure allows, add storage and counter space, and install new cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, lighting and flooring. Older wiring and plumbing often need updates for modern appliances, so we plan for that from the start. In Leisure World, we remodeled a galley kitchen to make the most of a compact space. Our designer helps you choose finishes before work starts.
Flooring Installation
Hardwood refinishing in Silver Spring homes.
Silver Spring homes from the mid-1900s often have original oak floors under carpet or a worn finish. We have refinished hardwood floors in Silver Spring, sanding them down and bringing back a smooth, even finish. We also install new hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank and tile, which work well in kitchens, bathrooms, basements and condos. Before installing, we check the subfloor and fix squeaks and soft spots, so the floor stays flat and quiet.
Door Installation
Older Silver Spring homes often have original front doors that stick or let in drafts, while townhomes and condos may have builder doors that look worn. We install entry doors, storm doors, French and sliding patio doors and interior doors, in styles that suit brick colonials, Cape Cods and modern homes alike. Each door is set level, sealed and adjusted so it closes tight and locks smoothly. If your community has an HOA or condo association, we help you choose a door that fits its rules.
Window Replacement
Quieter, energy-efficient windows for Silver Spring homes.
Mid-century Silver Spring homes often still have original or early replacement windows that leak air, fog between the panes and let in noise from busy roads like Colesville Road, Georgia Avenue and the Beltway. We install energy-efficient replacement windows, including ProVia, measured to fit each opening, then insulate and finish the trim inside and out. We can replace a few windows or the whole house, and every estimate is free.
Our process is simple. First, we meet you for a free consultation at your Silver Spring home. Next, we handle design and planning with you. We also take care of every permit your project needs, whether it goes through Montgomery County or WSSC Water for plumbing. Then our crew completes your renovation with expert craftsmanship. Finally, we do a full walkthrough and inspection to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.
Home Additions
Many Silver Spring homes, from the brick colonials in Woodside and Indian Spring to the ramblers around Four Corners, were built in the 1940s through the 1960s with small floor plans. A home addition gives your family the room it needs without leaving the neighborhood you love. We match your home's roofline, siding and brick, and handle Montgomery County permits, foundation, framing and finishes under one MHIC-licensed contractor (MHIC #162705). Planning a full home remodel? We can update your kitchen, bathrooms and basement at the same time.
Room & Primary Suite Additions
Bigger family rooms, home offices and primary suites with a private bath.
Second-Story Additions
Build up when your lot does not leave room to build out.
Bump-Outs & Sunrooms
Kitchen bump-outs and sunrooms that open up tight first floors.
In-Law Suites
Private living space with its own bath and entrance.
In Silver Spring’s mid-century colonials, Cape Cods, and ramblers, the bathroom is often the smallest room in the house, and sometimes the only full bath. Many still have original wall tile, a cast-iron tub, and plumbing that is decades old.
When we remodel a bathroom in Silver Spring, we look behind the walls first. Replacing old supply and drain lines while the walls are open costs far less than repairing a leak later. Then we make the room work harder: a walk-in shower or tub-to-shower conversion, a vanity with real storage, a recessed niche in the shower, and lighting and ventilation that fit the space. If your home has only one bathroom, we plan the schedule around your family so you’re without it for as little time as possible.
Need more room? We can also add a bathroom as part of a basement remodel. See our bathroom remodeling services, read about a tub-to-shower conversion, or call (240) 485-8797 for a free in-home estimate.
